New User and Editing Functionalities Deployed

New People's Map website functionalities were deployed to the website this morning. These functions include 1) New data editing functions, 2) New "Your Statistics" section and a 3) improved "Your profile" section.

1) Road Split: The new editing functionality that was deployed this morning allows users to split existing roads. This function will split a road at the point or node you select. This can for instance be used to split a road where a round about is required or where a road was digitised as one, but actually has more than one name.

We will publish a few tips and uses of the split functionalities in the People's Map forum under "Digitising Tips".

2) A new link to each registered user's personal data creation statistics was added to the website. When this option is selected, you will be able to view all your own data creation stats like how many items were created as well as total length (if appropriate). The stats are displayed under the categories Points, Linestrings and Polygons which again is shown for data created in the last 24hours, week, month, year and all time.

3) The Improved User Profile section now allows for registered users to change there registration email address, password and also there secret question. So when you change your email address or would like to change your password, you can do it all yourself.

We hope these improvements create a better user experience for all and please feel free to comment on these functionalities either via the Blog or via the Forum.
